    how many amps are you using ? . i tried to use an inverter arc welder to weld some 1.5mm steel and still found that either the set was turned down to low or was burning holes lol. if i was to go for a mig welder for doing any work to bodu work on vehicles and yet still be powerfull to weld upto 2mm steel i would look for something like a Cebora 190 autostar - very very good welders

    if you are looking to carry out work to panels on the tranny i would not be too keen on using an arc welder as its harder to weld very thin metal and especialy if there is and rot in the area your welding . personally i would look to get a mig welder , if you get a mig welder arround the 190 amp area then im pretty sure you will be able to weld pretty much anything you will ever need to weld , migis certainly much easyer and much more forgiving im my oppinion

    i would keep the 60 and get a 20 meter rope for the smaller work , also i would considder keeping them in a rope bag.

    never the less itstill sucks when your used to using certain bits of kit , or certain climbing gear, and to top it all off with a couple weeks of eppy bashing is really not good at all !! that really makes it personall

    i know exactly what you mean - if your car is in for a service when you come to pick it up you are expected to pay for it before driving off (unless you have an account with them) so why do people expect you to carry out work for them and to get 30 days to pay ?? i totally agree its different working for the LA's or large organisations/ companies but i really do not see how you can go and work in someones back garden on domestic rates and they seem to think that you dont want paying at the end of the job

    i see what you mean and i may not have explained what i was getting at that well, basicly it was explained to me by our accountant that if you send a company an invoice and on that invoice it clearly states 15,20 or 30 day terms and they process the invoice and putt it on the system then they in turn have accepted your payment terms - should they not wish to accept your terms then they should refuse to accept the invoice. i have a company down here who tried to tell me that they were paying 60 days from the end of each month and all invoices must be recieved by the 12 of each month otherwise payment will be delayed by another month - this was in a perchase order given to us on completion of the work , i invoiced with my terms being 20 day from the date of invoice and they payed :thumbup:

    the goverment did pass a ruling that all LA's were to pay their smaller contractors within 15 days , also many of the companies that i have done work for a doing the same , i have made my terms 15 days for all customers - if your invoice clearly states 15 days and the company you invoice proceses the invoice they are basicly accepting your terms . hope that this may of be some use

    most green waste companies will take this for recycling , give your local countil a calland they will point you to who ever is doing this in your area - the nails do not pose a problem as the hammer mill will not be dammaged by them and when the chip is screened the nails will be picked out by a magnet any way

    personally i feel that planning needs to be changed to allow applications from recognised tree surgery companies to be pushed through sooner , clearly this would not be possible on every application . many of my applications are for routine works that really should be signed off by wither the TO or head of planning in that area . I feel that if the LA were to go down this route it would save an awfull lot of time being wasted and or course would allow us to get on with work within a month as opposed to three months .

    personally if you need to use spikes to prune a tree then my advice would be to go back to being a groundy , there are many ways of finnishing a pollard or accessing a leggy sycamore before you have to resort to spikes , has anyone tried using webbing slings chokered off round a stem to stand in ? you can do the same with a prussic loop as well . i carry various webbing slings for many purposes and this is one of them .

    is the tipping body factory fitted of is it an aftermarket tipper ? , i know one guy with an isuzu who had a factory fitted tipper and it does no tip high enough but thats because its a scissor tipping system . can you post some pics of the rams and tipper when fully tipped ?

    i have been running brg mt for 3 years on our truck's i have found them to wear very very well , i have changed the tryres once in this time , when replaced i kept with bfg but had the mk2's . im really pleased with the mk 2 and find them far better than the mk 1 off road however i have foun that they are not so good on the road . if your looking for a hard wearing tyre that is great off road i would go for the bfg But i would fit them all round and not just on the back.

    i think i will get a horn a bit like Fred Dibnah used to blow when felling those chimneys , ha ha i bet it will pee all the folk on the council estates right off when every ten mins they hear a paaarrrrp paaarrrp as i fell another leylandi ha ha ha great stuff i think i will actually get one !! the more i think of doing that at 8 in the morning the more i wanna find one to buy BUT it must be the same as Freds

    my gob cuts tend to vary depending on the species and condition of what im felling . we recently took down a large Lawsonia which had a large cavity at the base , Chris that works for me felled it by taking out a large gob(just over halfway through ) so that he could use the buttres roots for the hinge , it came down exactly whee we wanted it too come down . It was something i had not thought about doing in that circumstance but was well impressed with the results!!

    without sounding harsh but in order to determine what you honestly warent being payed for a days work you need to be seen climbing , i once made the mistake of taking a guy on that was "compitent climber" and had agreed a price. but in reality when he got climbing he was not at all good and he had to be asked to come down . you could well be a good climber but you need to work for what you feel you are worth , as for using your own kit and insurance you will need both of these to be officially self employed , there is no was i would bring in a climber and expect to lend him any gear .

    it did seem a bit wierd being sideways on a slope and still to be facing down hill , i think i will have to trawl the net and see just how far you can push them , oh and then back it off a bit to take into consideration the chip box lol
  25. combined tree services
    nope , we were working diagonally on a slope that sloped in two directions if you know what i mean mike , if im honest i think its down to nt really knowing just how far i can push the mog yet .
